TNA Wrestling continues to ride the wave of momentum following its successful Genesis pay-per-view event on Sunday, which drew 4,000 fans—the company’s largest attendance in years. According to WrestleTix and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Genesis also ranked among TNA’s most profitable gates ever, signaling a resurgence in popularity for the promotion.
Building on this success, TNA has announced an exciting lineup for the January 30th episode of Impact on AXS TV:
Nic Nemeth to Address His Future: Former TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth, who lost the title to Joe Hendry at Genesis, will open the show to discuss his plans within TNA.
Wes Lee in Action: WWE NXT star Wes Lee will take on Ace Austin in a singles match. Lee’s involvement continues the growing crossover between TNA and WWE’s NXT brand. Last week, Lee, along with fellow NXT talents Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe, interfered in the NXT Tag Team title match on Impact, further deepening the inter-promotional storyline.
Grudge Match Set: Josh Alexander and Eric Young will team up to face The Northern Armory’s Judas Icarus and Travis Williams. The tension stems from Icarus and Williams betraying Alexander on last week’s episode, making this tag team clash highly anticipated.
Mustafa Ali Returns to the Ring: Following his surprise return to TNA during Genesis, Mustafa Ali is scheduled to compete in his first match back. His opponent has yet to be announced.
The full card for the January 30th episode of Impact currently includes:
– Nic Nemeth addressing his TNA future
– Wes Lee vs. Ace Austin
– Josh Alexander & Eric Young vs. The Northern Armory
– Mustafa Ali in action
Fans are eager to see how TNA continues to capitalize on its recent success and whether the crossover with WWE will further elevate the brand.
